Summary

Description
English: A U.S. Navy Curtiss SB2C-5 Helldiver dive bomber (BuNo 83135) used by the Ames Aeronautical Laboratory of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), at Moffett Field, California (USA), for gunsight tracking and guidance and control displays from 18 December 1948 to June 1955. Control systems were developed to allow remote piloting of one aircraft from another. This was first demonstrated when the SB2C-5 was remotely flown from an Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat fighter. Note the bubble canopy fitted to the SB2C.
